Introduction Men experience sexual violence during armed conflict situations, which affects their physical, social and psychological well-being. However, this is under-researched and under-reported ( Vojdik: 2014 : 931), and often misunderstood and mischaracterised ( Kapur and Muddell, 2016 : 4). Consequently, men who experience conflict-related sexual violence (CRSV) have been severely overlooked within the humanitarian
effective detection, surveillance and control of outbreaks, that respect the dignity and emotional well-being of residents, their families and staff, must be available so they can be quickly implemented. Adequate Human Resources with Some Capacity to Respond to Emergencies Must Be Included in Care Homes During this epidemic it has become clear that in order to offer health care and not just social care in care
signed modes, before, during or after a crisis. We focus on humanitarian crises: situations of large-scale social disruption and elevated risks for health and well-being due to armed conflict, disaster or epidemic, and where population needs far exceed local capacities. Translation in humanitarian response settings is thus one category of crisis translation. Crisis translation plays a crucial role in making information available to linguistically diverse groups.

was probably the only woman present at the fashion show who could afford to buy the final RefuSHE products when they went on sale in Chicago that year. The RefuSHE initiatives then rests on epistemic assumptions about the ability of business and entrepreneurship to bring gender equality, well-being and healing to refugee women, assumptions that are echoed by the World Bank and statist approaches to development, as we have noted above. Empowerment is
(IYCF), nutrition for PLW/Gs, and health and well-being of PLW/Gs, infants and children, which involves transforming decision-making power, roles, norms and expectations. This is particularly true in regard to norms around women and girls’ access to sexual and reproductive health services, specifically antenatal care, including giving birth with an attendant. Other shifts observed were concerning infant feeding practices and the health requirements for PLW/Gs, infants and children. A gender transformative shift was also observed in regard to household responsibilities
‘something natural, but that it can also be taught or transmitted by a network of experts which include not only systems and organizations, but also in nations and people’. Resilience appears as the natural ability to recover from a previous state of well-being – that is, having the ability to overcome difficult circumstances and restore balance. If this is not possible, a certain power allows us to move forward towards a better situation. In other words, resilience ‘refers to a changing attitude towards uncertainty’ ( Bonß, 2016 : 21). This is what President Santos said
’ precarity while also undermining financial system integrity. We show that what refugees really need to build livelihoods are foundational rights: to work and set up businesses, move freely and obtain identity documents (IDs). The global push for these rights has given way to a series of nominally market-led technical interventions (such as financial services and vocational trainings) imagining them as substitute paths to well-being, even in the absence of fundamental rights
suffering ( Bankoff, 2007 ; Horst, 2006 ). Brković (2016 , 2017 ) adopts the concept of ‘vernacular humanitarianism’ as a ‘humanitarianism from within’ rather than from below to indicate that the lives of ‘savers’ and ‘saved’ are exposed to the same socio-political environment. Brković (2016) suggests that professional and vernacular humanitarianisms are similar in their understanding of shared responsibility for the lives and well-being
The 2020 World Happiness Report suggests that rural residents in Northern and Western Europe, North America, Australia and New Zealand are generally happier than their urban counterparts. Similar findings have been reported in country-level studies and broader regional research, especially in Europe. Such findings go against conventional wisdom in the field and represent something of a conundrum to researchers and policymakers alike: the rural–urban happiness paradox. Is quality of life really better in the countryside? How and under which circumstances is this the case? Did influential writers like Edward Glaeser get it all wrong when suggesting that the city had now triumphed? What can we learn from digging deeper in the rural–urban happiness paradox and which critical questions does this leave us with for the future? What might policymakers, planners, architects and other influential actors learn from such an exercise? The purpose of the proposed book is to delve deeper into these matters by asking what quality of life in rural areas is actually all about. Since 2018 a cross-disciplinary team of researchers from four research environments at three Danish universities has been carrying out an ambitious research project to do just that. In this edited volume their findings are presented alongside chapters written by specially commissioned international authors from across Europe, North America, Asia and Africa.
